A RICH HISTORY

EIKEHOF FARM was founded during the height of the DUTCH EAST INDIA TRADING COMPANY in 1791

In 1841, J. De Vos and his family established their home on the farmstead, completing construction of the Manor house. Over the years, Eikehof Farm underwent several changes in ownership, remaining a private residence until 2020, when it opened to the public as a wedding venue and guest farm.

Today, Eikehof Farm stands as a testament to the Western Cape's rich history.

Its historical buildings, vineyards, and dramatic views attract visitors interested in the region’s agricultural heritage and natural beauty. From its origins during the era of the Dutch East India Company to its role in land management in the Western Cape, Eikehof Farm remains a vital link to the region’s enduring history.
